    yogels

    ByMilton Brasher-Cunningham April 2, 2026

    Every once in a while, the onslaught of uninvited suggestions on social media offers something that is useful. I am not sure why this particular reel showed up, since I have not talked out loud about either yogurt or bagels in front of my smart phone, but it captured my attention. I then went looking…

    pumpkin biscuits

    ByMilton Brasher-Cunningham January 24, 2026January 24, 2026

    I know the saying is that necessity is the mother of invention, but I find, when it comes to cooking, that the pantry plays a pretty big role. From time to time, I take inventory just to see what I have and what needs to be used up. What gave birth to this recipe is…

    jalapeño cranberry relish

    ByMilton Brasher-Cunningham November 20, 2023

    Years ago, my mother sent me a recipe that I have since seen named “cry babies” or “candied jalapeños”–basically it involved adding crushed pineapple and sugar to a jar of pickled jalapeños and cooking them till they were happy together. It’s a good recipe. I’ve made it many times. A few years later, I wondered…

    refrigerator rolls

    ByMilton Brasher-Cunningham November 20, 2023November 20, 2023

    I know the world is covered up in recipe posts, but this is one of our holiday favorites. Like most of my Thanksgiving recipes, this is one I learned from my mother. Unlike most of the recipes I learned from her, this is one I bake pretty much the way she taught me. I make…

    caramel apple butter pie

    ByMilton Brasher-Cunningham November 13, 2023

    The other name for Thanksgiving at our house is Pie-a-pa-looza. I love baking pies and sharing them. Starting Saturday or Sunday I’ll begin making crusts and then filling and baking them on Monday and Tuesday, before I am called to Thanksgiving Dinner duty, and then Ginger and I “Preacher’s Wife it,” as she likes to…

    amazing delights

    ByMilton Brasher-Cunningham October 31, 2023

    The best recipes tell a story. This one starts with my friend, Sid Davis, who is the Minister of Music at St. Luke’s United Methodist Church in Houston. He called awhile back and invited me to come to his church to do two things. One was to read a poem for All Saints Sunday (that…

    advent journal: pumpkin bread

    ByMilton Brasher-Cunningham December 5, 2022

    I would love to tell you I remember who gave me this recipe. As you can see from the photograph, it has been around a long time and, based on the “this one” written and circled, it replaced one I had used previously. It has also erased the memory of the former recipe. For all…

    tahini, fig, and almond cookies

    ByMilton Brasher-Cunningham November 13, 2022

    I had a rare opportunity this week to a part of Project PX, an amazing program sponsored by St. Luke’s UMC in Houston. My friend Sid Davis asked me to come do a house reading and concert on Saturday and then connected me with Meredith Davis, his daughter, who runs Project PX along with Chef…

    banana pudding cookies

    ByMilton Brasher-Cunningham November 6, 2022

    banana pudding cookies I was invited by my friend Taylor Davis to be a part of an All Saints celebration at his church. During the past year, they have experienced a season of profound grief that included the deaths of two of their pastors. Taylor asked me to come and prepare a meal to go…

    zucchini boats

    ByMilton Brasher-Cunningham August 22, 2022

    My earliest memories of zucchini are not good. First, a bit of backstory: When I was growing up the house rules were that we ate whatever my mother cooked. If it was on the plate, we were expected to eat it. It was not negotiable. If we chose not to eat what was served, the…
